I LOVE that Boxycharm included a magnetic palette this month! Considering they’ve sent solo pans in previous boxes, I think this is a great reward for subscribers to be able to group those pans in one customizable palette!

Here is a closer look at the eyeshadow shades:

The pigment is great on all of these colors, and it’s a good mix of shimmer and matte finishes. (All shades swatched in picture later in the review.)

This oil treatment is a blend of several oils and it is safe for color treated hair. I tried it out and my favorite part of the formula is that I could truly tell a difference in the shine level of my hair after using it!

One thing that surprised me is the scent. It reminds me of a men’s cologne/grooming product fragrance. Personally, I’m fine with that and often use a lot of the samples my husband gets in Birchbox Man, but I thought it was worth mentioning nonetheless!

This lip gloss looks bold in the tube (and pretty bold swatched below, too), but it actually applies sheer to your lips, so you can really control how much color you want. (Perfect for me – I prefer a more neutral lip.)

And I love that the ingredients list is free of sulfates, parabens, and phthalates, too. Plus the formula itself is shiny without any stickiness!

Oh, and one last thing for me to rave about – how cute is this bamboo cap:

I’ve received many Mally eyeliners over the years thanks to subscription boxes, so I’m never overly thrilled to see them in a box – but to be fair, the formula is great. The pencil is heavily pigmented, glides on smoothly, and stays put!

Swatched here with the lip gloss and eyeshadow shades:

Verdict: Between this box and the June box, I think Boxycharm is having a summer of amazing boxes! (Fingers crossed that they can deliver greatness in August, too!) I love every single item in this box, I think the Magnetic Palette is so useful, and the value is impressive too – $123! (That kind of value falls in the “I don’t know how they do it” category for me!)

Eh, got the brush. only the third brush I’ve gotten this month….beauty box 5 seems to send them a lot, and i think the other one was from Ipsy? didn’t really need one, much less three! nice brush i guess. And since i guess the ofrapro counts as two items (understandably) i got eye shadow lip gloss oil and….a brush. ah first world problems! Still happy with tbe box, would have been happier with eye liner!

oye, there are a lot of Jenn’s on here. :p I got the brush instead of eyeliner too. Anyone want to swap? I also had a broken pan of shadow so I emailed cs. I’d be surprised if they send me a whole new z-palette, but it would be nice to get something (esp since the pan that broke up was the one I’d want to use the most!). 🙂 I’m also surprised the z-palette is basically cardboard? Given the retail price, I was expecting something a little more sturdy. The lip gloss is in such a pretty bottle! But I wish the color was a little lighter. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a lip shade from a box that wasn’t in the bright pink to red range! Interesting box overall… nothing I love but good overall value. The dang liner was what I was looking forward to the most though! ha

Just received my box today, and I’m so glad I got the Mally eyeliner instead of the brush. I have way too many brushes as it is! I hope everyone who got the brush and would rather have the eyeliner is able to find someone to swap with!

Aw, man, I got the brush instead of the eyeliner too. A brush should not really be swapped in for other items imo, it’s pretty lame. And one of my eyeshadows was completely crushed and so the z-palette is covered in eyeshadow dust. I guess I can use the brush to try and clean it off. :-/

This is my fav box yet! Now I have somewhere to put all those loose ones I got (I gave a couple away) but I love the oil, my daughter has super thick hair and kind of corse but not after 6 dimes worth did I mention long too lol. I put some on my dogs and it made them shiny and soft (they are chihuahuas aka spoiled rotten) only thing I didn’t care for was the tint of the lip gloss I’m more of a natural color lip person. Boxy charm has never disappointed me yet.

Just received mine today and so happy to have gotten the brush! I usually like eyeliner, but ice blue is not a color I want to try to pull off. I have light eyelashes (interpretation: I look sickly without darker eyeliner and mascara) so I need eyeliner to be darker. Love the box, and very excited about the palette!

For those of you that didn’t get the Mally eyeliner it’s on sale for $9 .00 at Ulta in Ice Blue I just ordered it wish I would have known before subscribing to this box but it’s ok oh and I used my $3 points from ulta so total cost was $6 for this same exact liner so I’m happy

Should have saved my $21 got my box got the stupid brush wanted the liner don’t care for the palette I tint use eye shadows the argan oil might be ok didn’t smell like argan oils I’ve smelled cancelled I won’t use this box and the lipgloss was ok very thin not too pigmented at all wears like a stain I should have just ordered the malley eyeliner for $18 & saved $3 very disappointed

I like the eyeliner more than I thought I would. I’ve been using it on the lower lid to give a little pop – makes me look more awake lol. The gloss is still more bold than I would like, but I can tone it down to a more manageable level.

I am thrilled to be getting that magnetic pallet. I plan on putting the 2 make up geek shadow pans in there that I received from Boxycharm a few months ago and also the Offra banana powder pan I received. I’ve sampled an Offra shadow before and it’s one of my favorites. This box is very exciting for me 😀

I wanted the brush sp bad, of course I ended up with the eyeliner. Honestly the only thing I’m excited about is the magnetic palette. With that said I didu a e the hair oil yesterday and was impressed, so tha k god for that.

It’s my understanding that you get the box for the month that you sign up in. People who signed up the last day of June received the June box. I signed up July 1st and I am receiving the July box tomorrow.

didn’t get boxycharm this month, and no regrets. I liked my first two boxes, But I followed someone else’s advice in a previous post’s comments to wait for the spoilers before I get it each month. Nothing in this month’s box I would have truly enjoyed, and I’m not put off by the box either by paying for something I’m not happy with. Maybe next month will be another win for me. Hope everyone who got theirs enjoyed it!

Awesome or not, if you’re over saturated with eye shadow its not worth it nor exciting IMHO. I passed too; the only difference would have been if I didn’t already have a Z palette of that sizw which I do, with too many neutral shadows in it already 🙂 Its great to see in a sub box so others who don’t already have these in abundance are happy about it!

It is hard for me to enjoy Boxycharm anymore. I purchased a six month sub last November. The first box I received was December. I planned to cancel once I received my sixth box in May, but they charged me for another six months. When I contacted them regarding the error and to request a refund, I was told no refund. They acknowledged it was their fault that I did not start with the November box instead of December and mailed me an old box from last Nov in May. It was the last day or two in November when I joined so I was not overly surprised to not receive the Nov box. How was I to know? To recap, I was forced to pay for another six months I didn’t want and to accept as my original sixth box a box that was already six months old. I have such a lack of respect for them now that it is impossible to enjoy the boxes I was forced to pay for even though the whole thing was their fault. BEWARE–horrible customer service!!!

They really do have horrible customer service. I’ve had 2 issues with them without resolution. They don’t want to help you, at all. I’m super close to cancelling, for good. It’s hard to support a company who truly doesn’t give a crap about their customers. They need to take notes from Ipsy, who has great CS. I enjoy “most” of their boxes but the lack of CS really bothers me. All is fine until you need help and cannot get it.

I responded to this awhile ago but my comment is not showing up. They DO have horrible customer service! I’ve had a couple of issues and they are slow to respond and didn’t even do anything to help me. Nothing. I’m really close to cancelling solely due to their lack of CS.
I’ve liked most of the boxes, not all, but its hard to support a company who really doesn’t care about their customers being happy with their service/products.

I got the brush instead of the eyeliner and I am SUPER happy because I would never wear that blue eyeliner! Other then that I will use EVERYTHING and that lip gloss is so pretty I didnt think I’d like it but I do!

Got my shipping email today even though it started it’s journey a few days ago. lol Scheduled for Monday delivery for me. Can’t wait, this might be my best box of the month! Popsugar was a bust for me totally, my LaRitzy box was full of a leaky product and I havent gotten any other boxes yet this month. I re-subbed primarily for the palette since I was in the market for one anyway. SO win for me on this box! woohoo

Boxycharm.was one of tbe first boxes i tried, and it has consistently been my fave. i’ve tried a bunch of others and nothing else compares. i’ve gotten enough brishes lately so i just hope i get the eyeliner?

I just received mine today and I’m super happy with it. I got the brush instead of the blue eyeliner which is great because I’m not the blue eyeliner kind of girl. The value is terrific and my friends we all super jealous of the eyeshadows. I told them they should subscribe! ? I love the lipgloss and the packaging is cute.

If you were a current subscriber, it should have already gone out. I resubbed on the 22nd of last month and still got the June box, which shipped on the 27th and arrived about 5 days later. If there was a high demand box, maybe they run out sooner – not sure. I am hoping for the eyeliner too. 🙂
